Valentine’s Day is Thursday, February 14 … and it’s a really really big holiday! According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. Since many folks give candy along with their cards, this year you might have fun making your own candy. Put some pieces of homemade white divinity in a clear bag tied with a red or pink ribbon, and your gift is sure to generate sweet thoughts (and probably some hugs and kisses as well)! There are many recipes for divinity, all fairly similar; so pick one from your favorite cookbook or Internet site, and start cooking. It’s easy to make; and if you’re a WeightWatchers member, this candy won’t sabotage your good efforts—it’s only one point per piece! Divinity 2 egg whites 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup light corn syrup 2 cups white sugar MIX together water and corn syrup in a heavy pan, and bring to a boil. Add sugar and continue boiling until dissolved. Continue cooking over medium heat, without stirring, to the hard-ball stage (about 250° on a candy thermometer). WHILE syrup mixture is cooking, beat egg whites in a large bowl until they just hold their shape. When the syrup is ready, pour it slowly over the egg whites in a steady thin stream, whipping slowly at the same time. Do not scrape pan. BEAT candy mixture until candy can be dropped onto waxed paper into pieces that hold their shape. (This can take a while.) YIELD: 40 pieces (about 1-1/2 pounds of candy) WeightWatchers Points: 1 point per piece

Avoiding Foundation ProblemsSimple Tips That Could Save You Thousands Of Dollars

One of the most expensive home repairs is also one of themostavoidable. Foundationrepairscancostahomeownerupto $10,000, but most problems can be avoided, according toBenSutterfield,ownerofCenTexPreferredInspections,ahomeinspectioncompanybasedinAustin,Texas. “ManyofthehomesinAustinhavethepotentialforfoundationproblems,” says Sutterfield. “Most foundation problems arecausedbyeithertoomuchmoisture–ortoolittle–aroundthefoundation.” Sutterfield says problemswith a house’s foundationusuallystartwhenthesurroundingsoilissaturatedwithwaterinonearea,completelydryinanotherarea,orsomevarianceofthetwo.SoilsintheareassurroundingAustinmakesthepotentialforfoundationproblemshigh,hesays. “Usually, thesoilonthesouthandwestsidesofyourhousewilldryoutfasterthanthesoilonthenorthandeastsides,”saysSutterfield.“Ifthesoilononesideofthehouseisdryandtheothersideiswet,thedifferencewillcauseheavingonthewettersideandshrinkingonthedrysideofthefoundation.”Drysoilpullsawayfromthefoundation,whilewetsoilcausesthefoundationtorise.
